Rochdale Riverside Project Progress 17 Dec 2018

 

Rochdale Riverside Project Progress

Rochdale Riverside is the landmark regeneration of Rochdale town centre. Longworth have been on-site for a couple of months now and the vast site is starting to take shape. Longworth have been appointed as the roofing and cladding contractor by Willmott Dixon to install Euromax shingles in Canyon Copper from their Jeweler Range to the 6 screen Reel cinema. Rockpanel lines in 2 colour shades as well as Eurobond composite panels will be installed to the retail areas.

The sprawling roof areas will consist of a range of materials including, Danosa Duratec Hot Melt, Euroclad Elite 3 and SIG Hydrostop AH25 Liquid Waterproofing. All fixings will be supplied by our trusted supply-chain partner SFS who have been heavily involved with the project from an early stage.

Developed by a joint venture of Genr8 and Kajima in partnership with Rochdale Borough Council, it will include 200,000 square foot of retail and leisure accommodation in the town centre, including a six-screen cinema, which will sit above the retail units. It is very similar to the scheme in Beverley, Yorkshire.

The development, with a central pedestrian street a key feature, will transform the retail and entertainment offering in the town and encourage further inward investment.

The project has dedicated site management which is being led by Longworth’s very expereince Project Leader, Lee Smith. Lee is joined on-site by Operations Manager, Mark Campbell.

Longworth are well on with the SFS systems, Danosa Hot Melt and Euroclad Elite 3. Be sure to check the Longworth news page regularly as monthly progress photos will be posted.
